WEBVTT THROUGH SEVERAL CHANGES SINCE THIS RACE STARTED. WHAT WAS ONCE A FOUR-PERSON RACE IS NOW A TWO-PERSON BATTLE BETWEEN MIKE DEWINE AND MARY TAYLOR. >> PHONY. NOT REAL, FAKE, NOT TRUTHFUL. TAKE CAREER POLITICIAN MARY TAYLOR. LISA: VOTERS MAY BE CONFUSED BY AN AGE-OLD POLITICAL TACTIC BOTH CANDIDATES ARE USING THAT CAREER POLITICIANS MUST GO. BUT BOTH ARE CAREER POLITICIANS. MARY TAYLOR HAS BEEN SERVING IN ELECTED OFFICES FOR 17 YEARS, MIKE DEWINE HAS SERVED IN LOCAL AND STATE OFFICES SINCE 1976 REPUBLICANS OFTEN TOUT THEIR CONSERVATISM, BUT BOTH CLAIM THE OTHER IS NOT CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH ON SEVERAL ISSUES. HOWEVER TAYLOR AND DEWINE BOTH SUPPORT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONS STANCE ON SANCTUARY CITIES. AND BOTH HAVE STATED DURING THE FORUM YOU SAW HERE ON WLWT THEY WANT TO END JOHN KASICH’S MEDICAID EXPANSION. >> MEDICAID EXPANSION IS SIMPLY NOT SUSTAINABLE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL OR THE STATE LEVEL. JOHN AND I ARE GOING TO SEEK A THIRD ALTERNATIVE. >> I HAVE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT ENDING THE MEDICAID EXPANSION. BUT, AND THEN YOU HEAR THE CRY FROM FOLKS THAT YOU CAN’T END THE MEDICAID EXPANSION BECAUSE YOU HAVE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LIVING IN ADDICTION GETTING RECOVERY SERVICES. IT’S NOT WORKING. GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS DON’T WORK. LISA: GOP VOTERS HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH IN THEIR STANCE ON GUN CONTROL, SINCE THE PARKLAN , FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING. WE ASKED BOTH CANDIDATES ABOUT THE ISSUE DURING OUR WLWT FORUM. DEWINE WANTS MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTION. TAYLOR WANTS TO SEE SCHOOL BUILDINGS MORE SECURE. >> IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE TRAGEDIES OF THESE SHOOTINGS , YOU FIND A LOT OF TIMES THESE PERSONS GAVE AN INDICATION OF A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THERE WAS NO INTERVENTION. >> HOW DO YOU SECURE THE CAMPUS? HOW DO YOU SECURE A SCHOOL BUILDING? HARDEN THE TARGET AS THE EXPERTS SAY. WHEN YOU HAVE GUN FREE ZONES YOU REALLY ARE WELCOMING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO COME IN AND COMMIT A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. LISA: POLLS HAVE SHOWN DEWINE WITH A STRONG LEAD THE ENTIRE RACE. BUT BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE SPENT NEARLY $5 MILLION EACH ON THIS TOUGH PRIMARY FI
